Answer
In Ubuntu 16.04, using PHP 5.6, with 64bit os, try this:
Install the packages:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-dev build-essential php-pear libaio1
Download the latest version of the packages from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linuxx86-64soft-092277.html
Search for these packages, according with the latest version:
oracle-instantclientXX.X-basic-XX.X.X.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm
oracle-instantclientXX.X-devel-XX.X.X.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm
Converting packages:
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien oracle-instantclientXX.X-basic-XX.X.X.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm
sudo alien oracle-instantclientXX.X-devel-XX.X.X.X.X-X.x86_64.rpm
Installing:
sudo dpkg -i oracle-instantclientXX.X-basic_XX.X.X.X.X-X_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i oracle-instantclientXX.X-devel_XX.X.X.X.X-X_amd64.deb
Installing oci8:
sudo pecl install oci8-2.0.12
*Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php/20131226/oci8.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/oci8-2.0.12
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=oci8.so" to php.ini*
Add the extension to php:
sudo gedit /etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini
add the extension:
extension=oci8.so
Restart apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
That's it.
